Winter Magic | King George Virginia Child Photographer

"Children see magic because they look for it" - Christopher Moore

I kept seeing all of these beautiful snow images in my facebook newsfeed but we just hadn't been lucky enough to get any snow. Finally we got snow and I started trying to decide on what look I wanted to go for. I knew I wanted to do something a little different. I love the look of composite photography and knew that was the direction I wanted to go. I asked Ava to help me pick out something for her to wear and she picked this dress because it was the color of snow. In my mind I immediately thought snow white and how all the creatures of the forest would come to her. I grabbed an apple on our way outside and headed out to try to match this vision I had in my head.

It took several hours in photoshop to take the original photos (which was on it's own a beautiful shot) and turn it into something magical. I will be working on a series of my children in fantasy/whimsical photos.

What I love so much about composite photography is the ability to mix a bit of reality and fantasy and create something imaginative. I always envied how painters and artists who have the ability to draw could take what it in their own imaginations and put it on paper. As a photographer using this method of editing I can also do the same.

If you would be interested in creating a look like this for a session with your kids contact me today and we can start dreaming up a vision.
